For the Low Carb Biscuits
- 3 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups super fine blanched almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
For the Breaded Chicken
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into pieces suitable for the biscuit
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, or your favorite all purpose seasoning blend
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Prepare the Biscuits: Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and eggs, stirring until smooth with no clumps. Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, heavy cream, and melted butter. Stir gently to combine, avoiding overmixing to keep biscuits tender. Chill the dough for 10-15 minutes. Lightly sprinkle almond flour on a cutting board and turn dough out onto it. Pat to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut into biscuits using a cutter or mason jar top. Place biscuits on a greased or silicone-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden.
- Prepare the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray or line it with aluminum foil. In a shallow bowl, combine egg and mayonnaise and beat until fully mixed. In another shallow bowl, mix almond flour, grated parmesan, and Cajun seasoning. Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, then dredge thoroughly in the breading mixture. Lay coated tenders on the baking sheet and brush with melted butter. Bake for 15 minutes, then carefully turn each tender with tongs and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until cooked through.
Notes
- Each chicken and biscuit serving contains approximately 5.4 net carbs.
- Biscuits can be made slightly thinner or thicker, but keep in mind this will affect baking time and texture.
- Adjust Cajun seasoning to taste or substitute with your preferred seasoning blend.
- Use super fine almond flour for a lighter biscuit texture.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.
